    Avalon North Station | Nashua Street Residences | West End

    I think aesthetics matter to a lot of people, in the older suburbs around Boston, particular neighborhoods, streets and even homes that have that certain "curb appeal" always seem to be in higher demand from buyers. There are so many people who will pay a significant mark up for a prewar...

    Carmel, California -- aka Hobbiton USA

    I viewed these beautiful pictures while stuck on the Framingham Commuter Rail as it puttered inbound during the morning rush hour at very slow speed due to "track work." The severe delays were made significantly worse by the fact that I happened to pick the only open seat on the train with the...

    kz's random cities pics

    A lot of people do seem to be pleasantly surprised. However, I often think it may be the case, at least in part, because expectations are low. It is Nebraska after all. Lincoln has always had a fairly nice downtown since it is home to the flagship state univ. and the state capital. Also the...

    kz's random cities pics

    Glad to see you made it to Lincoln, NE, where I spent my undergrad years at the Univ. of Neb. and I'm guessing you probably drove through my hometown of Omaha which is about an hour east on the highway from Lincoln. Great pics and congrats on touring all over the country!

    11-21 Bromfield Street | DTX | Downtown

    Before my time, but here is a link below from a member of this forum who used to post updates on his blog. Neisner's was an L shaped department store with two entrances, one on Washington and the other on Bromfield. Not sure if it is one or two buildings though... Interestingly the facade on...

    11-21 Bromfield Street | DTX | Downtown

    Re: One Bromfield (28-story DTX tower) | 1 Bromfield Street | Downtown ^ This site plan would make for very interesting scale, with so much of a better outcome than what will likely happen, which will be consolidating all the parcels except for maybe the sam lagrassas building.

    The Hub on Causeway (née TD Garden Towers) | 80 Causeway Street | West End

    Re: The Boston Garden (TD Garden Towers) | 80 Causeway Street | West End BCDC rejection - shocking; I figured design review was dead, dead, dead in this city given projects such as the building that replaced the home for the little wanderers or repeated inattention to activation of the ground...

    General Infrastructure

    Rotaries are common on major streets in Jamaica Plain, West Roxbury and South Brookline, but I think you may be looking for examples on more local streets. Maybe not enough of a "neighborhood street" but there is a somewhat recently installed traffic calming one near Riverdale Elementary in...

    Millennium Tower (Filene's) | 426 Washington Street | Downtown

    Very good guesses, the photo was taken from Mass general's Ellison tower, 19th floor visitors lounge right off the elevators. I think the building has a few more floors, maybe up to 24 stories in all. I visited a co worker who is on the mend from a leg injury. You didn't hear it from me but for...

    11-21 Bromfield Street | DTX | Downtown

    Re: One Bromfield (28-story DTX tower) | 1 Bromfield Street | Downtown Druker owns many of the buildings on Bromfield that are vacant. He's land banking them, he'd likely prefer to level the whole block with it's inconvenient and inefficient floor plates and put up some monolithic horrible...
